Drought on Arrival

(ahhhh) A shadow falls across the bay

The sky begins to fade to grey

They reach down from the quiet height

To drink the ocean in the night

The engines hum a heavy sound

We feel it vibrate through the ground

They draw the water to the sky

And leave the ancient seabed dry

Beam up the water,

clear the deep

A thousand years of peace to keep

They claim the sea,

we pay the price

A barren world of stone and ice

(beam it up)

Dry sands emerge where waves once ran The final bargain made by

man

Beam up the water,

clear the deep

A thousand years of peace to keep

They claim the sea,

we pay the price

A barren world of stone and ice (we pay the price)
